8-Bit Commando

Greetings Commandos,As you may know, it's becoming increasingly difficult to develop games as an indie business. Given the current economic recession, the alarming number of asset flips and the devaluation of Doge coin, we have no other alternative, but to include in-game advertising.I know... I know a lot of people are not going to be happy about this. After much consideration, 2dengine has decided to partner strictly with legit, top-tier advertisers so there is no need for concern.Special thanks to our sponsors, Silly-Conman-Echo Productions and check out their new title Goo Chungus 174. This promising sequel is not planned for a Steam release, but should be coming next week to torrents (in Croatia). So definitely keep an eye out for that!Also, check out 8-Bit Commando's new minigame, called Bird Hunt! This little gem is inspired by Duck Hunt and unlocks after you complete every mission in the game's story mode. Leaderboards are included too!This update is brought to you by DPS: “Digihom Postool Service, the undisputed #1 leader when it comes to the business of #2!”

Greetings Commandos,It is hard to believe that the game is nearing its sixth anniversary! Overall, it has been a great learning experience for us, so we'd like to thank everybody for supporting the game. Your feedback has been invaluable and in return we'd like to remain as transparent as possible.

Upcoming game

Super Chains is currently in development so join our Steam group to find out more. Some very exiting updates to Super Chains are on the way so please share your feedback, it really helps out a lot!

A note on Steam keys

If you are one of the few people who have received a key for 8-Bit Commando through any third party website, we encourage you to activate your key as soon as possible. Everyone should have had more than a year to activate their keys, and failing to do so, means that your key may not work in the future.

Thanks for taking a look and much love!

Hard mode

Jan 3

Greetings, Commandos! Are you ready for the ultimate retro gaming experience? We're talking classic run-and-gun action without tutorials, health-bars and no hand holding.

Think you can handle the one-hit deaths and brutal timer counting down the seconds before nuclear disaster...Hard mode unlocks once you complete the game and gives you exclusive access to a new set of leaderboards.

Kick off the new year like it's 1987! Simply turn up the in-game video filters and you'll feel as if you are playing on an authentic CRT television.

Happy new year from 2DEngine!

Endgame update

Dec 29, 2016

Greetings Commandos,

Word is in from HQ and the reviews don't look too positive. Dang it, even after operations “Revamped” and “Versus” those ungrateful SOB's are still whining! Alright, here is the plan:

We're sending you back to boot camp for a few weeks, so you should be able to move faster out there. Don't ask what I had to do, but look: I got you these special full metal jacket slugs. Just don't get too wild, since these puppies can practically eat through concrete....and don't expect that your mission will be any easier! Intelligence reports that the enemy is getting smarter and is building new fortifications. Damn right, you can expect 30% more content in the endgame.

So go ahead, try the demo and buy the 2Dengine bundle. What's the matter, Steam's got you lifting too many controllers?

General – out

Controls update and translation credits

Dec 10, 2016

Greetings, CommandosAnother patch is out, fixing a few things and introducing the game in new languages.

The controls have been improved. You can now disable specific controllers – a feature requested by several players. Also, the “Virtual Gamepad” should be available for anybody who prefers to play using a touchscreen. This is still an experimental feature and we hope to receive more feedback about it by the community. Also, there was an issue of the game failing to save custom gamepad mappings – this should be fixed and working properly as of today.

[2dengine.com]Huge thanks and shout-outs to the following people who have translated 8-Bit Commando in 13 different languages:
